Arkansas: In Fayetteville, it is illegal to kill "any living creature."
Wow-- never boil water or use disinfectant.

California: It is illegal to cry on the witness stand in Los Angeles courts.
You would never know that from watching Perry Mason.

Delaware: Getting married on a dare is grounds for an annulment.
Shouldn't all marriages have grounds for annulment then?

Florida: Unmarried women who parachute on Sundays may be jailed.
Maybe Florida women who should press their state to take a tip from Delaware.

Georgia: In Quitman, it is illegal for a chicken to cross a road.
The response to that one is so obvious I won't bother.

Georgia: It is illegal to change the clothes on a storefront mannequin unless the shades are down.
This one I've heard of before. It was passed because there were several wrecks that took place in front of a store where they changed them in view of the street.

Idaho: Boxes of candy given as romantic gifts must weigh more than 50 pounds.
And how much would the recipients of those gifts end up weighing?

Kansas: In Lang, it is illegal to ride a mule down Main Street in August, unless the animal is wearing a straw hat.
I used to wonder why Dirty Sally put that straw hat on her mule.

North Carolina: In Charlotte, women must have their bodies covered by at least 16 yards of cloth at all times.
Showering must be very difficult or sloppy.

Oregon: In Marion, ministers are forbidden from eating garlic or onions before delivering a sermon.
That's scriptural; it says somewhere "let no filthy communication come from your mouths."

Texas: It is illegal to milk another person's cow.
Even if that other person milks yours? What is that saying?-- "Teat for tat?"

Utah: A husband is responsible for every criminal act committed by his wife while she is in his presence.
I figured it was legal somewhere for a woman to murder her husband, as long she shot or stabbed from the front.

Well shoot. I'll have to cancel my trip to South Dakota. I was really looking forward to staying awake as long as possible before the cheese factory tour started so I could properly pass out on a giant wheel of cheddar.
